I've heard of uptite threw this site but never been able to find a website.... now I know why haha. I will look into dynoport and see what I can find

UpTite is George Earl and he visits the site often, old school Husky dealer, i have a few of his pipes, good stuff, he's in Santa Ana Ca as i recall, haven't been there in a while
Dynoport is the new kid on the block, for years they did sleds (snowmobiles) and Husky bikes, i think they do other brands now too

I was just on their website and they do Suzuki, yamaha, husky, ktm, atk and also flat track stuff. My pipe and silencer are in good condition but it's always nice to have an aftermarket pipe and silencer

here is a link about George, he really is the best, a ton of VERY useful knowledge is stored in the box above his shoulders

http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/up-tite-husqvarna-santa-ana.3239/

he has been there for me more than a few times, i have 3 of his pipes, they do work great and fit quite well too
so it's a good source

compared to george, they are newer, but have been doing husky pipes since at least the early 90s. i would like to try one of the uptite pipes tho, they look very sweet. george is a very knowledgeable husky guru for sure, especially with the thumpers!
very cool that george made much of the "husky products" parts during the 80s!

Are you just running stock pipes on your other bike's?

stock chambers yes, but have run all kinds of silencers, with and without sparkies

here are a couple of pics of the UpTite pipe on my 87 430, obviously the engine is out but the head pipe is quite smooth in it's transition
pipe fits very well and is slightly tighter than stock for leg clearance

Looks awesome! I like the bare steel look on pipes

WD-40 and steel wool keep the good looks year in and year out

I'll be doing that a lot with my 144 pipe

2premo, is there a pretty large difference in size between the stock and the uptite? what about coolant hose clearance?

 

[2premo]

to be honest i can't remember, been apart too long
but don't recall any issues, but been too long to be quite honest

do you still have that crazy "works" pipe that exits straight up before bending around? that pipe is sweet, would love to find one of those

funny but a really good friend bought the bike it's mounted on, i still see it all the time
he's a lot older than i so typically i also start it for him, kinda like a long term rental
i'm pretty sure it will be back in my garage one of these days

well you let me know if its ever for sale. i wonder why nobody ever routes a pipe like that? seems a good way to get volume, and keeps pipe out of harms way.

i had to trim the front fender by about 3/8" to clear the pipe

 

[justintendo]

fine by me, i thought it had to be cut more than that. where would you even buy these in the day?

 

[2premo]

where??
that's a good question, i heard they were made for the factory riders
